Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An electronic device comprising a stylus; said stylus comprising a pointed end having a touch capable tip, and a top end, said top end comprising a rotatable element, and comprising a first electronic element mounted on said rotatable element and a second electronic element mounted below said rotatable element; a first contact point and a second contact point disposed on said stylus between said second electronic element and said pointed end; and at least one sensing button; said stylus comprising means for electronically communicating with said electronic device.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 wherein said first electronic element on said stylus is selected from the group consisting of: a camera, a light, and combinations thereof.
3. The electronic device of claim 1 wherein said second electronic element on said stylus is selected from the group consisting of: a camera, a light, and combinations thereof.
4. The electronic device of claim 1 wherein said electronic device comprises an opening for receiving said stylus; and disposed of within said opening are first and second connection points for electronically connecting to said first and second contact points on said stylus.
5. The electronic device of claim 4 wherein said stylus comprises at least one notch between said touch capable tip and said top end; said notch having a corresponding latch component within said opening.
6. The electronic device of claim 5 wherein said stylus comprises at least two notches between said touch capable tip and said top end.
7. The electronic device of claim 1 wherein said rotatable element is connected to the stylus via a structure which is flexible and extendable, said structure allowing rotation and extension of said rotatable element.
8. A stylus comprising a body having a tip end and a head end, said head end being a rotatable element connected to said stylus body via an accordion like structure, said accordion like structure enabling the rotatable element to extend away from said body and rotate 360 degrees; said rotatable element comprising at least one electronic element selected from a camera, a sensor, or a light; said body comprising at least a second electronic element positioned on the body below the rotatable element; said second electronic element selected from a camera, a sensor, or a light; and at least one activating switch positioned on said body, said activating switch capable of activating one or both of the first and second electronic elements; said body of said stylus comprising at least two electrical contacts; wherein said stylus is communicatively coupled to an electronic device.
9. The stylus of claim 8 wherein said communicative coupling is performed by direct connection between at least one of the two electrical contacts and a connector on said electronic device.
10. The stylus of claim 8 wherein said communicative coupling is performed by wireless connection between said stylus and said electronic device.
11. The stylus of claim 8 comprising at least a third electronic element, wherein said second electronic element is positioned adjacent to said rotatable element on one end of the stylus body and said third electronic element is positioned adjacent the tip and the opposing end of the body; wherein said second and third electronic elements are positioned in-line with one another on said body.
12. The stylus of claim 11 wherein said second and third electronic elements are both cameras, and wherein said second and third electronic elements are capable of simultaneous capture of an image; which said image can be combined to generate combined photos from both cameras.
13. The stylus of claim 12 wherein one of the cameras is an infrared camera.
14. The stylus of claim 8 further comprising at least one sensor and at least two cameras, wherein a first camera and a second camera are oriented on different planes along said stylus.
15. The stylus of claim 8 comprising at least one camera, at least one laser pointer extending from said tip end, and at least one receiver positioned on said body; wherein said receiver is capable of detecting a reflection of said laser from a distance and wherein said stylus can determine and calculate distance.
16. A stylus engaged to an electronic device, said stylus having an elongated body having a first tip end and a second head end, said head end comprising a rotatable element comprising at least one electronic element selected from a light, a camera, or a sensor; and along said elongated body is positioned at least one electronic contact and at least one activating switch; wherein said electronic device comprises a top, two sides, a bottom, a front, and a back, wherein one side comprises a receiving aperture capable of accepting said stylus; within said receiving aperture is at least one contact point; said stylus has a first position, wherein said head end is flush to said electronic device top, and at least a second position, wherein said head end is extended from said electronic device, and remains in electronic communication with said electronic device, and a third position disengaged from said electronic device and in wireless communication between said stylus and said electronic device.
17. The stylus device of claim 16 wherein said rotatable element is connected to said elongated body via an accordion like structure, said accordion like structure capable of rotating 360 degrees around the longitudinal axis of the stylus.
18. The stylus device of claim 16 wherein said at least one electronic element is a camera.
19. The stylus device of claim 16 further comprising at least a second electronic element, wherein said at least second electronic element is a camera.
20. The stylus device of claim 16 wherein said tip end is positioned adjacent to a second rotatable element, and wherein said second rotatable element comprises at least a second electronic element.
